Abstract

The problem being discussed in the article has been developed from two points. The first point contains the description of the historical background of Hus’s life and activity: biographical data, aptitude of Hus to the schism in the Church, to the political and social situation in Bohemia as well as the Council of Constance. In the second point the main reformist postulates over Hus’s theology which is presented as: the understanding of the authority of sources of faith – especially the authority of the Scripture, teachings about the Church and predestination, finally teachings about papacy.

Keywords:

authority, Jan Hus, Church, Scripture, predestination, reformation, schizm, Councile of Constance
